Dlaczego wczesny dostęp?

„User generated content was planned to be a cornerstone of the success of Brickbuilder VR. We wanted to engage a community of players as soon as possible, so that we can hear your feedback and deliver the features that you want the most. Therefore, we chose to release the game under early access while we continue to polish the performance of the game.”

Mniej więcej jak długo gra będzie w fazie wczesnego dostępu?

„We estimate about 1 year, but the timing is not set in stone. The game will be released in full when we consider that it has enough features and no major bugs.”

Czym różni się zaplanowana pełna wersja od tej z wczesnego dostępu?

„We plan to add the following features:

pistons / linear actuators: controllable like a motor, offers linear fixed or periodic motion
springs: Essentially a piston that is not driven
lights: realistic physical lights, and decorative lights. (Physical lights will be able to illuminate other objects, but will cost more performance. Decorative lights will be bright but static)
Sensors and graph programmability: A logic graph will allow reading sensors (touch, color and distance), performing logic and compute operations, and then outputting to motors, pistons and lights.
Script programmabiltiy: Specify more complicated behaviors by writing a script and importing it into the game.
Propellers and flying interactions: Quad copters, basically.
Magnetic joints: Enhanced playability, being able to easily connect and disconnect one structure to another. (Currently, disconnecting requires 2 hands pulling pieces away from each other)

We also plan to consider the following features, but may not be able to add them due to technical challenges:
Differential gearing;
Train / Rail type interactions;
Tracked vehicles;

We also plan to significantly improve the performance of the game to support creations of much larger scale. Our eventual goal is to support 10000 pieces.”

Jaki jest obecny stan wersji z wczesnego dostępu?

„We believe the game is fully playable, but there are currently issues and bugs.

Both "blueprint" and "create" modes are currently available. Blueprints provides a step-by-step instruction to build something that we have designed. The instruction is fully rendered in 3D, and can be moved, zoomed and rotated with your hands. Currently, the game includes 10 of these of varying complexity: "flower", "catapult", "tower", "crawler", "arm", "truck", "train", "farriswheel", "clock", and "gramophone".

Create allows you to build freely from a blank slate. The piece grid allows you to spawn any piece you want. Currently, the game supports the following types of pieces / connections: bricks, beams, axel, pins, motors, gears, wheels, and joints. You can paint your creation using the "painter" tool, and configure the motor with 4 separate channels and 2 axis from the thumbstick / touchpad of the VR controller.”

Czy cena gry ulegnie zmianie podczas i po wczesnym dostępie?

„Yes. We will raise the price.”

Jak zamierzacie włączyć społeczność w wasz proces tworzenia?

„We will gather feedback and re-prioritize our development based on player feedback.”
